Blue Sky Bio Restorative Lab
3DL works with the full Blue Sky Bio implant platform line. Custom abutments, screw-retained and cement-retained crowns, and implant bridges — designed to OEM tolerances with verified scan body compatibility. This page documents the implant lines we support, OEM and third-party scan body part numbers, CAD library coverage, and clinical considerations for Blue Sky Bio cases.

Third-Party Compatible Scan Bodies
Scannable Healing Abutment — 2-in-1 Component
Blue Sky Bio publishes a 2-in-1 Scannable Healing Abutment designed for natural tissue healing and digital scanning in a single component. Place the abutment, allow tissue to heal around it, then scan in situ — no separate scan body needed.
Per Blue Sky Bio's product copy, the Scannable Healing Abutment is "designed for natural tissue healing and effortless digital scanning." The clinician places and scans the component to design the final crown without a separate scan body component swap.
Compatible Implant Lines
- BIO Max
- BIO Forte
- BIO Quattro (a dedicated BIO Quattro Scannable Healing Abutment SKU is available)
Specific compatibility matrix beyond these lines was not fully retrievable from public pages — call 3DL at (248) 919-7929 to confirm for your specific BSB implant.
Workflow
- Place implant.
- Seat Scannable Healing Abutment.
- Heal.
- Scan the component in situ intraorally.
- Design — lab designs final crown directly from the scan.
Key Advantages
- 2-in-1 healing + scan workflow.
- Generally accessible price point — fits Blue Sky Bio's broader compatibility-first positioning.
- Works with BSB's free Blue Sky Plan CAD software.

Clinical Notes & Considerations
- Blue Sky Bio's positioning is 'compatibility-first' — many lines are platform-compatible with major OEMs (Nobel, Straumann, Zimmer, Implant Direct). When matching scan bodies, verify whether the user is on Blue Sky Bio OEM scan body or using a host-OEM scan body with a BSB implant.
- Blue Sky Plan (free CAD/treatment planning software) ships with a scan body editor allowing custom scan body addition — relevant for a lab-facing compatibility chart.
- Photogrammetry system also offered (separate workflow).
3DL Workflow for Blue Sky Bio Cases
- Identify the component before submission. Call (248) 919-7929 or message through the doctor portal — 3DL verifies the Blue Sky Bio implant line, platform diameter, and the correct scan body family at no charge.
- Scan with any major IOS. Upload the scan through the doctor portal. 3DL confirms receipt the same day and validates the scan body capture before any milling begins.
- 3DL designs in matched pairs. Custom abutment and final crown are designed together so the emergence profile of the abutment supports the crown's gingival contour exactly.
- Mill, finish, ship. Custom titanium or zirconia abutment plus final crown ship together in 7 to 10 business days. Verification jig included on request.
